D15z1 swapped 94 cx hatch - best tank
 

Greetings, long time lurker, first relevant post..... had my best tank ever in my 49 state vx swapped 94 cx hatch.

I rebuilt the bottom end almost 2 years ago, and have been trying to eclipse 50 mpg / 500 mile tank for a while. This trip was 95% highway, mostly between 63 and 67mph. Only aero add on are the vx/si front chin spoiler, and foglights to fill voids. Had been running a 100% grill block but not on this trip. Belly pqn up next. :)

And looking for 13 tire suggestions as ive recently found a set of aluminum vx 13s. Any help appreciated.

Congratulations on your first post and your first 50 mpg/500 mile trip King D! Be prepared though... once you break 50, you will want more :)

I would suggest this tire for you: Kumho Sense 175/70R13 It is light, touted as an LRR tire, and priced economically. Also has a 40,000 mile warranty to boot!

Congrats on the mpg! Did you make that mpguino box?

Radio shack project box cut to fit.


Thanks for the tire suggestion!

What size project box? I been looking for one for my Mpguino for a couple weeks now.

Honestly dont recall.... think it was the 3x2x1 size.

One of the tires I've seen mentioned on insightforum is the Kumho Solus KR21 155/80/13. 22.8" tall, not rated as being lrr but it is cheap and the warranty is for 85k miles (but you know how that goes).

$190/4 + shipping on tirerack. $230 from Discount Tire.

Thats a pretty interesting option. Thanks!!!
